World-Borer

A worm so vast it has created its own cave system.

You don't enter the World-Borer's lair — you enter the World-Borer. The tunnels you traverse are its digestive tract, the walls pulse with its heartbeat, and the acid pools are its blood. To kill it, you must attack its vital organs from within.
